There's a great, free tool called Color Cop that lets you do this. I don't have Publisher or a Mac, so I don't have those nifty tools. I use Power Point on my PC.
I created a little tutorial for you. You can either watch my first ever video or just scroll on down through the pics :)
(You just drag the dropper over to the background/clipart you want)
I hope this helps you out!
Oh thanks so much! I used to use Publisher, but since I've move to Powerpoint, I missed being able to match colors!

Hehe! You are welcome!
DeleteThat's pretty cool! I have always just gone through the color tools in Powerpoint and tried to match it the old-fashioned way through the custom color tool. I'll have to give this one a try on my next project :)
